The Bonnie Blue Flag - ( Confederate Song )

"The Bonnie Blue Flag", also known as "We Are a Band of Brothers", is an 1861 marching song associated with the Confederate States of America

Chorus:
Hurrah! Hurrah!
For Southern rights, hurrah!
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.

2. As long as the Union was faithful to her trust
Like friends and like brethren, kind were we, and just
But now, when Northern treachery attempts our rights to mar
We hoist on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.

Chorus

3. First gallant South Carolina nobly made the stand
Then came Alabama and took her by the hand
Next, quickly Mississippi, Georgia, and Florida
All raised on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.

Chorus

4. Ye men of valor gather round the banner of the right
Texas and fair Louisiana join us in the fight
Davis, our loved President, and Stephens statesmen rare
Now rally round the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.

Chorus

5. Now here's to brave Virginia, the old Dominion State,
With the young Confederacy at last has sealed her fate,
And spurred by her example, now other states prepare
To hoist high the bonnie blue flag that bears a single star.

Chorus

6. Then cheer, boys, cheer, raise a joyous shout
For Arkansas and North Carolina now have both gone out,
And let another rousing cheer for Tennessee be given,
The single star of the Bonnie Blue Flag has grown to be eleven.

Chorus

7. Then here's to our Confederacy, strong we are and brave,
Like patriots of old we'll fight, our heritage to save;
And rather than submit to shame, to die we would prefer,
So cheer for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.

Chorus

Who is singing in this version?

@PlaygroundsWillLaugh Sorry but I don't know :P

Centralism is NEVER the right moral idea!

You can have either a strong(and centralized) nation/empire or more state/provincial autonomy and thereby more local ldemocracy and more democracy as a hole - NOT both!

[CrowBanjo37]

This song is called "Colemans March"

@360Nomad Republicanism =/= Republican party.

[360Nomad]

@DukeofUSA To compare the politics of the 1860s to the coarse politics of today would be an insult to every soldier, Union and Confederate who died in the American Civil War.

@knothead15

Leftism is supporting Government control of the economy. That has nothing to do with Republicanism versus Confederatism. I am a Rightist.

@DukeofUSA Every time I read someone who starts out by saying that he's a conservative, he sequays into something left wing.

@vonmazur1 ? what do you mean? Being a republic is working out fine.

I'm a conservative, not some hippie. XC
